What's your favorite comfort food
Comments (15)This thread reminded me of a time long ago, a cold, foggy, drizzly day in early May, in Bar Harbor. Thoroughly chilled from camping out and walking around slick Acadian rocks, late morning, we walked into a small restaurant on Main Street, ordered coffee and chose a table near the fireplace to warm up. The restaurant was nearly empty, being between breakfast and lunch times. On the menu was New England Clam Chowder, sounded good and warm and filling, so we each ordered a bowl. Enjoying the coffee and warmth, some time went by. Had some more coffee. We certainly had nowhere to go that would be better. Finally the waitress arrived with our chowder, apologizing for the delay. She explained that the chef had to shuck the clams and prepare the broth. When I looked down to my bowl, I was amazed to see it chock full of fresh long neck Ipswich clams, you know...the ones with the succulent bellies and chewy necks...surrounded by the creamiest, buttery ambrosia of a broth...not thick or starchy, but just thick enough to coat the spoon. Small chunks of potato, onions and parsley just accented the dozen or so whole tender clams lazing in the steaming bowl. That's real clam chowder. Well worth the wait. In fact I've waited maybe 30 years, ordered clam chowder many times at many restaurants since, but have never had anything even close to that experience. Thanks for bringing back that memory....See MoreWhat's your Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Comments (19)Oh, what I love about Thanksgiving dinner is that everything goes so well together. We sometimes have a turkey during the summer, but if we haven't had it by October, we DON'T. By the time Thanksgiving day is here, we are anticipating that Butterball. Stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, are all perfect together, and the first person who thought to serve cranberries with turkey was a genius. We also drool over pumpkin pies in the stores all fall, but we don't indulge until Wednesday night. Then we will watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie. This is the tradition of many, many years. We're big on tradition, lol. - Gail...See MoreWhat has been your favorite Birthday gift - cooking or food relat
Comments (26)This is a totally different idea, but I wanted to mention it because I recently rediscovered my immersion blender. I wanted something I could take out of town with me that was small and easy to pack, and...I know this would sound odd to some...offered a little bit of ''help'' in case I decided I wanted to bake. (A readily-available kitchen is a good thing.) Anyway, I realized my immersion blender (Kitchen Aid) had a whip attachment (like a miniature hand-mixer) that I'd never used. Eureka! Of course I had to try it out, and it works beautifully. If your friend doesn't have one, she would probably love it for blending soups, making smoothies or chopping things. The best part is they're not terrible expensive. (FYI; maybe not for now, but for the future.)...See Morewhat is your favorite Easter dish to serve or bring?
